synopsis

After setting sail in 1949 the MV Balmoral has had quite a life but today it sits stationary at the docks. Funding is scarce and the dedicated group of volunteers can only do so much. Will it be enough to see her sail the open sea again?

Maria Webb

Notes

After walking past the Balmoral on the way to our studio, one day we noticed it wasn’t there. We reached out to find that it was bound for the dry dock where it was undergoing some serious restoration work thanks to the support of the Lottery’s heritage grant fund. We spoke with the team behind the Balmoral and got to work on pre-production to tell this story of the neglected people’s liner that was now being lovingly restored by a group of passionate volunteers.
